Tallahassee police remind drivers that photo enforcement will operate throughout the school day, including 30 minutes before and after.<\/p>\n
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2014 Drivers traveling through Tallahassee school zones will need to pay close attention to their speed as the city’s School Zone Speed Enforcement Program begins full enforcement Wednesday, Aug. 12.<\/p>\n
The Tallahassee Police Department announced there will be no warning period before enforcement begins.<\/p>\n
Under the program, photo enforcement will be active throughout the entire school day, not just during the traditional morning arrival and afternoon dismissal periods.<\/p>\n
Police said enforcement will also operate 30 minutes before the school day begins and 30 minutes after it ends.<\/p>\n
No warning period<\/p>\n
The department’s announcement emphasizes that motorists should be prepared for enforcement immediately when the program takes effect Aug. 12.<\/p>\n
Automated speed enforcement systems use cameras and other technology to detect vehicles traveling above the applicable speed threshold. Potential violations are captured for review under the program.<\/p>\n
The goal is to encourage drivers to slow down in areas where children are walking, biking, crossing streets or entering and leaving school campuses.<\/p>\n
Police urge drivers to watch their speed<\/p>\n
With students returning to classrooms, motorists can expect more school buses, pedestrians and traffic around Tallahassee campuses.<\/p>\n
Drivers should pay particular attention to posted school zone signs and speed limits and allow additional time for their commutes.<\/p>\n
The Tallahassee Police Department’s message to motorists ahead of Wednesday’s launch is clear: full enforcement begins Aug. 12, and drivers should not expect a warning period first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tallahassee police remind drivers that photo enforcement will operate throughout the school day, including 30 minutes before and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":367406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-367405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=367405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/367405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/367406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=367405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=367405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
